AEGIB (Always-Enjoyable Giant Inflatable Beaver)

Better than Mel Brooks?

Penis jokes! Okay, now you probably don't even need to even bother reading the rest of this review of Mel Brooks's "Young Frankenstein" at the Orpheum

Jay Gabler is still giving us props in TC Daily Planet:

"There are a lot of penis jokes in Young Frankenstein, and sure, some of them are funny—but honestly, I laughed a lot harder at the danger-zone jokes in writer Corrie Zoll's Beaverdance at Bedlam in December. Maybe Zoll's better than Brooks at coming up with amusing genitalia-themed double entendres, maybe vaginas are just funnier than penises at this particular point in history, or maybe supersizing a production makes it harder for simple offhand gags to register. Unless Beaverdance hits Broadway we'll never know..."

Review from Cake in 15

From cakein15.com

Look, any show that starts off with the audience clapping and hollering “BEA-VER! BEA-VER!” is a show you want to be a part of. When you are exhorted into singing the Beaver version of the Internationale which happens to be a disco-ish number telling you to put your hand in the wet beaver, there is a great sense of solidarity. Even if you don’t decide to overthrow your capitalist oppressors, you can definitely overthrow another Summit and get into the Marxist holiday spirit.

Visitors

Last night we had a group of nine historical reenactors come to see the show. They were awfully nice and offered to help us actually get the history or the costumes right if we were interested.

The MinnPost Review

From MinnPost:

The entire piece, directed by Foxy Tann, feels as though it will careen out of control at any moment and the on-stage anarchy and absurdity are barely reined in. To this I say ­ more please.[...] "Beaverdance!" revels in its own madness, leaving the audience out of breath as the show twists and turns until its end. That this is dinner theater ­ with a fine, multicourse meal from the folks at Bedlam ­ is just an added bonus.
